...palmy days of Empire, cricketers of the staid old Marylebone Cricket Club began their tour of Pakistan this winter by roughing up some hotel servants in Karachi. "A bit of tomfoolery," said the diplomatic hotel manager. Then the ambassadors of good will moved to Dacca, where they squirted soda water over other hotel guests. Polite Pakistani laughed it all off as mere youthful enthusiasm. Last week, the Pakistani stopped laughing...

He lives in a relatively modest red brick corner house, with a three-car garage. In the garage...
...Niimoto took charge. When she tried to remove the tatters of Shigeko's clothing, the burned skin and flesh came off, too. Morning and evening for a month, Mrs. Niimoto anointed her daughter's seared flesh with cooking oil and carefully washed her eyes with bicarbonate of soda. When the ash-grey tissue peeled off, Shigeko's skin was shiny and smoothly lifeless. Eyebrows, lashes and hair were gone. Worst of all, her chin had all but disappeared, and the lower half of her face looked as though it had been melted into her throat...
